WARNING
• All attachments other than a bucket
should be used with the AIPS set to the
M mode.
• Failure to properly set the Attachment
Interference Prevention Switch can

• Ensure that all buckets used in the S
mode are standard buckets or those
with shorter width than standard
buckets when measured from the pin to
the tooth.
• Do not disassemble or damage the
sensors installed on the boom and main
body. Doing so may cause the
Interference Prevention System to
malfunction. If there is a problem,
contact a Takeuchi sales or service
outlet for inspection or repair.
• The interference prevention system may
not function properly if attachments
other than Takeuchi-approved
attachments are installed.
Do not install attachments not approved
by Takeuchi.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
The Attachment Interference Prevention
Switch (AIPS) allows the operator to select
the attachment size used on the excavator.
The Interference Prevention System uses the
operator’s AIPS selection to limit the
movement of the boom (raising, lowering,
and offsetting) to prevent the cab from being
struck by the boom, attachment, or the
material being handled.
The Interference Prevention System (IPS) is
automatically set to the M mode when the
engine is started to provide the maximum
operator protection.
Modes of operation
To properly set the AIPS:
Reset the AIPS to the R position.
Select the appropriate attachment width.

those having the width of 460 mm
